On May 6, Ohio voters have the opportunity to renew a program that has been vital to the success and stability of our communities for nearly four decades. The State Capital Improvement Program (SCIP) provides crucial funding to repair and maintain local roads, bridges and water infrastructure — without raising taxes.
